【Written to you】

"The Legend of Situ Shankong" ended today.

This is the third and final part of the "Ghost Hunter" trilogy following "Ghost Hunter of Fourteen Years" and "Strange Way Hu Zongren".

The duration of this book is not very long, but it is only four months. Readers who know me well should know that I am a very lazy person, so it is actually quite a big deal for me to keep updating every day. challenges. I'm very happy that I actually did it. In the past four months, I have never stopped updating.

Let me talk about my thoughts. I have actually been preparing this book for a long time before I started writing it. The reason why I chose to write in the first person "I" is to give everyone a better sense of involvement. Imagine what I should do if I encounter the same thing as the protagonist. In fact, like most of my friends who read this book, I have not experienced such an era, especially that turbulent decade. So when describing these scenes, I read a lot of other people's accounts and put them into my own perspective, trying to restore that era that must be mentioned. (Although I have been asked to revise it many times by the review editor for this reason. Thank you for your hard work.)

The process of writing this book was a bumpy one, as almost all of my ideas before publication were rejected. The main responsibility for this lies with myself. Maybe it’s because I’m not a professional writer and I can’t always grasp the key points of current online literature. Maybe I need to firmly grasp the readers in the first three thousand words of the first chapter. Only with a strong heart can readers find it interesting after reading the first chapter and be willing to keep reading, rather than scolding the author for being stupid or something like that after reading the book.

Obviously, I belong to the latter, because I don’t understand the rules of online literature so much that I want everyone to understand this character before assuming this role, so I have to spend a lot of space to explain the protagonist’s story. The life experience even traces the story of the protagonist's ancestor who was an official, met a strange monk on the road, and asked for a bowl of water from the East.

In my opinion, these stories are the premise and a means to prevent readers from looking too abrupt. However, in online literature, such an update method can only be a dead end.

So I must give special thanks to my editor: Maitreya. It was he who pointedly told me the problem with writing like this, how to do it would be very dangerous, and so on. It was also because he encouraged me after I repeatedly cheated on him, and gave me revision suggestions to help me promote it, that this book was a blessing. So far, I haven't written it off.

So when you go back and read the previous chapters now, you will find that the pace has become much faster. I have combined the content of about ten chapters into one chapter, just to give readers a satisfying feeling of grudges and grudges. Only in this way can it be consistent. The writing standards of online literature are also something I need to learn.

Therefore, when I wrote the end of the first volume, I gradually became accustomed to this writing method. However, because of the fast pace, many plots were written after I made the outline and details, especially about some traditional folklore. I don’t have the knowledge to elaborate on it, which means that the article I updated today was not actually part of last night’s plan.

I know that when this book is finished, everyone will make a comparison between these three trilogies in their hearts. I mean friends who are familiar with me. Perhaps the viral popularity of "Fourteen Years" gave everyone hope for my new story, hoping that I could replicate the classic of "Fourteen Years", but as I often say, I am just a storyteller. Of all the stories I have told, the current one, "The Legend of Situ Shankong", is the one that I think has the highest depth and structure, and it is also my favorite.

So amidst all the different opinions, let’s keep it to each other. "The Legend of Situ Shankong" may be my last supernatural work about "ghosts and gods". The trilogy is over, and it is time to say goodbye.

Finally, I would like to thank my friends who have collected and read my book, as well as my most loyal and lovely old readers who have followed me all the way. I really hope that I have not disappointed you. I borrowed "Lin Qishan" from the book to describe Situ Shankong. One thing to say: "Let them know why I'm proud of you."

I hope to be your pride as long as I live.

Thank you for your four months of companionship and listening. May we cherish our goodbyes.
